The midfielder penned a three-year deal with Greek Super League outfit Panathinaikos in summer 2015 and he made his debut in October the same year.

To date, Lod has made 85 appearances for Marinos Ouzounidis’ side.

He has also won 19 caps for Finland.

Which clubs are after him?

Sky Bet Championship promotion hopefuls Wolves are thought to be keen, although I’m not sure where he’d fit into that team as things stand.

Robin Lod, right

The Robins could do with adding numbers to the central midfielder area and will have some money to spend this January.

Belgian side Standard Liege are also thought to be keeping an eye on him.

How much would he cost?

Well, if reports are to be believed then he could be up for grabs for around £440,000. He doesn’t seem to want to sign a new deal in Greece, and Panathinaikos have financial troubles and could be forced to sell.

What sort of player is he?

From first glance, he looks like an attack-minded midfielder, which is perhaps an area where City don’t need to strengthen. They are probably after a more defensive-minded player.

Nonetheless, the potential signing of Lod could bring more goals from midfield. He certainly likes to have a crack from distance and is also a competent dribbler.

He has played the majority of his football on the left side of midfield this season – 12 out of 17 matches - but he can operate in the middle of the park.

How much of a chance do City have of signing him?

First thing is that he is available. Whether City are after a player like Lod is unclear?
